1 DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH: Thomas Ronk PH (800) DATE: KEY DATA POINTS INSIDE Daily Short Volume CBAI SHORT SELLERS Naked Short Volume Market Maker Friction RECENT CBAI NEWS Cord Blood America CEO Discusses Company Strategy in Interview PR Newswire(Thu, May 6) Cord Blood America Updates Investors on China and Las Vegas Operations PR Newswire(Tue, May 4) Biotech Stock Alert for Cord Blood America Inc. Issued by MicroStockProfit GlobeNewswire(Thu, Apr 29) MoneyTV With Donald Baillargeon, 4/23 Marketwire(Fri, Apr 23) Cord Blood America's CEO Matthew Schissler, in Analyst Interview, Discusses Significantly Increasing Revenues PR Newswire(Wed, Apr 21) Cord Blood America to Provide Placentas for Transplantation PR Newswire(Tue, Apr 20) Cord Blood America Signs Letter of Intent to Purchase Controlling Interest in BioCells, Inc., a Major, Profitable South American BUYINS.NET offers a proprietary research and trading service uncovering illegal naked short selling in stocks on the NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ, OTCBB and PINKSHEETS. For more information please visit Starting in 2008 and through May 2010 short sellers aggressively shorted CBAI which resulted in the stock price dropping. Shorts have once again been building a new position as shares of CBAI have attempted to move higher in recent months. OVERVIEW OF CBAI SHORT SALE DATA After careful analysis of CBAI short sale, naked short sale and market maker friction factor data it is clear that CBAI has historically had persistent issues with short sellers which have previously decreased the company s market capitalization significantly. Short sellers have been rebuilding a substantial position in shares of CBAI and market makers have been making a bearish market as of late. New evidence of daily short sellers shorting shares of CBAI has now come to light as the SEC has finally given Buyins.net access to DAILY short sale data which is updated every night. Protecting CBAI from abusive shorting is once again a priority.

2 DAILY FAILURE TO DELIVER DATA (NAKED SHORTS) IN CBAI Failures to Deliver in CBAI have been an issue in the past as short sellers have been lax in complying with Regulation SHO. Buyins.net will continue to monitor short sellers for compliance with Regulation SHO borrow requirements. NEW DAILY SHORT SALE TRADING VOLUME STARTING Shorts have been consistently shorting CBAI on a daily basis. An average of 29.81% of daily trading volume is short selling.

3 MARKET MAKER SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (FRICTION FACTOR) The above data is used to calculate if a fair market is being made in the shares of CBAI. 39% of recent trading days are positive or bullishly biased and 61% of trading days are negative or bearishly biased. There is a bearishly-biased market being made in CBAI in the past eight weeks. Friction Factor determines if there is normal or abnormal behavior in the price action of the stock when compared to the buying vs. selling trading statistics. It calculates number of net shares of buying or selling to move price +/- one cent. Here is how to understand Friction Factor: 1. If Friction Factor is positive, more buying than selling caused CBAI s price to rise 2. If Friction Factor is negative, more selling than buying caused CBAI s price to fall 3. If Friction Factor is 0, there was no discernable activity either way 4. If Friction Factor is abnormal, it means that there is either a bearish bias or a bullish bias to how market makers are making market in your stock.

4 HOW BUYINS.NET RESEARCH REPORTS HELP FIGHT ABUSIVE SHORT SELLING The above report was issued on January 28, 2010 when URZ was trading at $1.12 per share. The report included data on short selling, naked short selling and market maker friction factor and alerted investors and regulators that an unfair market was being made in shares of URZ and that a short squeeze would begin if shares were to go above $1.24 per share. The results were immediate and dramatic with URZ going from $1.12 to $2.24 in only a few days, a gain of 100%.
